How to Make Dynamic IP Static

If you need to connect to your home or small office systems from remote locations, but can’t because your wonderful ISP changes your router’s IP address regularly; there is an answer: Dynamic DNS services such as those provided by DynDNS.com. Dynamic DNS services supply you with static Internet-accessible hostnames that dynamically attaches to your elusive and dynamic IP address.

The concept is simple. You create an account on DynDNS.com, name your host, select a domain (Yes, you have a choice of several domains), install the client software and enjoy your new service.
